Stenotic changes of the posterior cerebral artery are a major contributing factor for cerebral infarction in moyamoya disease.

Conclusions: This is the multivariate statistical analysis study identifying PCA steno-occlusive lesions as the most important independent factor that is predictive to cerebral infarction in moyamoya patients. The prediction and inhibition of PCA steno-occlusive changes may help to prevent cerebral infarction. PMID: 29930871 [PubMed]
